 MR. Pow DERLY may know what he thinks of the verdict in the anarchists cases, but 1t is doubtful whether he cares to let others know; but the fol lowing from his speech may give an in timation of his opinion:
 If these men did not have fair trial, such as is guaranteed every man in the United States, then they should be granted a new trial. If they have not ben found guilty of murder they should not be hanged If they are to be hanged for the actions of others it is unjust. The man who threw the bomb in Chicago should be hanged and his accompliees should receive the punish ment allotted to such otfenses by the laws of Illinois"
 In marked contrast is the declara- tion of Henry George:
 Tt was not indeed proved that any of the seven men threw the bomb, nor was 1t proved who did throw the bomb, but 1t was proved, beyond any reason able doubt that these men were en- gagged in conspiracy, as result of which the bomb was thrown, and were, therefore. under the laws of Illi- nois. as guilty as though they them selves had done the act. It may be said that these men had worked them selves up to the belief that it is only by acts of violence and bloodshed that social reform can be attained, but that does not affect the justice of their sen tence.'

IT seems to be pretty well settled that Secretary Lamar has been select ed to iill the vacant seat on the su- preme bench of the United States. And it is published in Washington specials that Mir. Lamar's appoint ment will give general satisfaction. That may be, but if the supreme court, the highest judicial tribunal in the land, is to have it's high character perpetuated. none but the best lawyers should go to the bench. Mir. Lamar does not rank as great lawyer, and 1t is stated on good authority that he never. in all his life, managed a ease in the supreme court of the United States -EN.

 IT is an undeniable fact, and one that cannot be successfully contrOvert- ed. that Arkansas is the most abSo- lutely self-sustaining of any State in the Union. If it were walled in and completely cut off from the rest of the world we have all the clements within our borders for life. health and comfort. We have abundance of corn, wheat, rye, oats flax. grasses. pota- toes, sweet potatoes and every kind of garden vegetable grown in the United States between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico. We have timber and coal for fuel, and fine timber for manufac- turing purposes. We have lead, iron, zinc and clay in sufficient quantities for all practical purposes, and we raise as fine cotton as is grown any where. Horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry are grown here with the greatest of ease, and we have the finest mules on earth. Our grain IS a steady crop every year and of good quality, which will balance any oeca- sional shortage in quantity. The rugged and clear mountain brooks have plenty of good fish and game in some parts is abundant. On top of all this we are pre-eminently at the head of all the States for fruits of all kinds As to apples we took the honors twice while in competition with the world. Benton county Journal.

TIE Iowa republicans made them selves responsible for an outrageous and unblushing falsehood when they asserted, as they did in their platform that the administration of Grover Cleveland had made a discrimination against union soldiers, and had been guilty of shameful abuser of these soldiers. In the despotie. use of the executive power to veto bills passed by congress for the relief of union sol diers, the president forfeited the con iidence and regard of these Iowa saints. But what are the facts in the
 case? It appears from the records that President Cleveland has approved III the two first years of his adminis- tratlon, a greater number of private pension bills than were approved by Arthur, Hayes and Grant during his last term. IL is also fact which will not be disputed that the pension bureau, under Cleveland's administra- ton, is settling pension claims much more speedily than ever before, and that more pension certificates have been granted within the past two years than were granted in the last twelve years of republican rule. Out the president is not in favor of open ing the vaults of the treasury to desert- CTS, bounty-inmpers and camp-follow- CTS of the union army. And in his opposition to this scheme of wholesale public robbery he has the support of all honest men. Arkansas Democrat,
